    There are plenty of options as far as food. I do not stay to often since my classes are blocked together and I can leave after, but the commons is usually buzzing with people around lunch time.

    The cafeteria food is generally pretty good. It's not exactly spectacular--but it's also not awful. There's always really good vegetarian options, and they have a constant supply of cereal and other options if you don't like the main dish options.

    The food and dining options are pretty wide for the size of the school, but as a student with dietary needs, they do not have that many opportunities (ex: lactose intolerant and gluten-free options).

    The food is okay, but gets a little bland after a while. The main line serves obviously microwavable meals, but there are other options including a sandwich shop, Chinese, Mexican, or burgers.

    The food isn't the best, but I do like that they now have erbs and gerbs on lower campus. Otherwise I am a picky eater at times so I end up getting the same thing most days.

    Unlimited food, whenever you want. The all access meal plan is worth the high price. Sometimes the food isn't the best, but there are so many options you'll always have something to eat.

    Greek like is at Eau Claire, just like most other colleges. I don't hear much about it, but that could be because I am not in a Greek organization. I know people who are and they seem to like it!
